I haven't used it in a while, but I was under the impression that it no longer needs charging?

However, I can still charge it.

What more? Well, it doesn't do any damage against shields or anything else for that matter. No matter if I charge it or just one-click it, it doesn't do any damage.

I even rebooted my console to make sure it wasn't the connection, but no matter what I try, it doesn't work.

Am I doing it wrong?

Earlier I was warping across the map when trying to use the acolyte.

I'm so confused. This gun doesn't do anything, and my SMG is working, what the?

I normally play on silver by myself. I've played on gold before, but I always PUG it, so there's a chance that we may not make it to wave 11. Although if I get with a good team we usually make it to wave 11 and complete it. I find that I can consistently farm and complete silver so the whole credits per hour is higher. Versus on gold, if you wipe before wave 10 completes, you only get 35,000 credits. So 25 minutes for 35,000 credits or 15 minutes for 34,000 credits?

I've kind of noticed that a lot of people don't use cover that much. Versus I use it all the time. Although, I kind of need to practice the whole situational awareness thing. Sitting there spraying bullets and there's a enemy that comes up and gets me.

Cover doesn't get used very much because the game punishes players that stay in cover for very long, ESPECIALLY on higher difficulties. Many enemies can essentially ignore cover, and grenades and other cover-clearing methods are incredibly common.

I think I'd say 'yes'. The games are either 'out of universe' and 'just a game' or they are part of an in-universe training simulator. It just doesn't fit into the lore of the core game any other way.

1/ Multi-species teams. As far as we know, the only multi-species teams in Mass Effect are:

Shepard's Normandy CrewSpectresC-SecMercenary gangs

Also there are certain races that we know don't work in these organisations (bar Shep's crew) - Geth, Quarians, Volus and Drell. Batarians and Krogan only work with other races in mercenary gangs (or as private security, basically the same thing in context).

2/ Missile Launchers. Never shown in-game as being like this (ignoring the final part of Priority: London), let alone every soldier carrying them.

I'll stop there. I don't think it 'means' anything in the larger context, but I know that my Krogan Sentinel isn't running around the Galaxy 'in lore'. Still loads of fun, though.

Anyway! Recently I've been in love with the Geth Trooper - that Flamer is just ridiculously overpowered on Silver! And I'm starting to like the Geth Pulse Rifle as well, its light and rapid firing and reasonably accurate.

For the rest, I have everything. Mostly levelling up my weapons for now.

I find that it's still fairly active. Not as much as it used to be of course but you won't be lacking people for long in a public game. I can start a public gold game and have 3 more people join before the end of the first wave normally. Also PC is my main platform too.

In terms of unlockables I've got all of the characters unlocked, now I'm just working on my UR's. Only 2 levels away from the coveted Harrier X.

Also I'm curious, how many of you have completed the Lone wolf challenge?
